  A magic wine. Still young, you see that on the curtains! Lots of dark, red berry fruits, a bit of plumen, little cedar and oak. Still so deep, red for the eye. Complexity for the noose in a pleasant way. Magic, where will this take us in the coming 5-8 years?

  Berries, dark red, long but strong curtains. It is there, pleasant to drink, but still powerful. Pleasant on the nose, nice aftertaste, stays for a long time.
  
  But keep it, let it develop!

  Deep garnet red with ruby hues. Savory nose with dark cherries and baking spices. Medium plus tannins (6.5/10) and full bodied. Rich and dark palate with a rustic edge. Layers of dried herbs, black currants, and some savory meats. Long finish. Drink till 2027.

  58% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 31% Syrah & 11% Merlot. 1st vintage with 100% French oak. Decanted 2h. The color is deep ruby ​​and damn deep. No surprise given the grape varieties used. The dress seems to be at the stage where evolution will begin, between early youth and the start of mid-age… The nose is superbly perfumed: what a nice complexity, what an impressive elegance! In the foreground it's a bouquet of fruits picked at perfect maturity (mainly blackberries & raspberries). Then appear the discreet aging through a hint of vanilla, the delicately brewed tea, a little leather, earth, a touch of caramel and chocolate, violet and an intoxicating smell of high quality cigar box. What a great nose! The mouth is on the same level as the nose: elegant, perfectly approachable and superbly balanced. The tannins are fully integrated. On the tongue the material slides like a sensual caress. The body is medium+. The acidity, the fruits and the volume go together in perfect harmony. She is a star dancer, a very beautiful and confident woman, with an assertive character and a crazy elegance. And I'm clearly in love with her. The slightly saline finish makes you want to serve it again. The long seconds of persistence finish seducing me… What a wine! I took a big slap. I'm still thinking about it… 91-92pts.
